Farage looking increasingly isolated as Orban given the boot

On 12 April, the people of Hungary voted out the loathsome Viktor Orbán. As we reported, the man who’s replacing him is another right-wing Zionist. What he’s not, however, is a member of the same network of would-be-despots as Nigel Farage.

Increasingly, then, it’s looking like the global right-wing uprising that Farage was relying on has stalled:

Farage and international nationalists

Trump ally Steve Bannon made a tour of Europe in 2018 in which he sought to create a “pan-European far-right movement”. Speaking on this movement, Byline Times wrote:

Anyone who’s seen Alison Klayman’s 2019 documentary The Brink will remember the scenes where Steve Bannon and Nigel Farage sit together discussing a pan-European nationalist populist “Movement” – with Bannon calling Farage “the face” of Brexit while they talk about stitching together far-right parties across the EU. Bannon tells Farage that he’ll “fund it somehow”.

What those scenes didn’t show is that the Brussels vehicle Bannon was about to claim as his own – The Movement – had actually been created out of Farage’s network and that, in the background, Jeffrey Epstein was quietly helping Bannon plan, protect, and track his “European revolution”.

The far right have grown in Europe and America since then, but the cracks are starting to show. This is obvious in how these parties exist in their own countries and how they interact with their global bedfellows.

Farage himself has made a big deal of his relationship with Donald Trump – the world’s most successful right-winger. He’s made less of a big deal about it lately, of course, because the Epstein-associate Trump and his wars are incredibly unpopular in Britain:

Farage has long attached himself to Trump, hoping that the president’s success would rub off on him. It’s become increasingly difficult for Farage to ride on his coattails, however, because it’s now obvious to everyone that the Emperor has no clothes.

Farage and other European right-wingers have distanced themselves from Trump following his threats to annex Greenland, as TLDR News EU covered:

When the German and French far right turned on Trump, Hungary’s Orban did not. In fact, Orban enjoyed considerable support from the Trump regime in his election. The problem is, Trump’s support is now poison:

Bringing down the Nigel project

This is what Farage said about Orban in 2011:

It would be interesting to get an update on how he thinks this is going.

The current situation for Farage is that:

With the next election three years out, it’s hard to see how Farage can do anything besides bleed support.
